🟢 Descubren el secreto hidrodinámico de los primeros vertebrados f.mtr.cool/bkgwixdmwq Estudio liderado por el grupo Instituto Cavanilles de Biodiversidad y Biología Evolutiva de la Universitat de València.
New paper in Paleobiology! We explore how headshield processes in ostracoderms functioned like control surfaces on planes — helping these early vertebrates stabilize and maneuver in water. CFD + fossil fish = 🦴✈️💨 @8VicenteSanchez @OSanisidro @Macro_Fun Thread 👇
We were very lucky to have our colleague Juan Cantalapiedra (@singerstone) visiting us for a very exciting collaboration! Yesterday we enjoyed his great talk on megaherbivore macroevolution 🦣🌿 Looking forward to more work together! @ICBiBE_UV
Muchas gracias a todo el comité organizador del @EJIP2025 por darme la oportunidad de impartir el workshop de morfometría geométrica a las jóvenes promesas de la paleontología española! 🦴📏
